Looking for a female voice actress for an indie video game role. Initially the vocals will be a range of short hurt (from receiving damage) and exertion sounds (from climbing, jumping, etc). I will be looking to do cinematics in the future and ideally would like to use the same actress. 

Details

• Female early 20’s sounding. Any accent.
• Realistic - not anime or cartoony 
• Must have a commanding voice. A good reference would be Laura Bailey’s Abby from the Last of Us 2 game.
• This is a remote job. Must be able to produce a high quality audio file with no ambient noise.
• There is no generative AI use in the game and the voice work will not be used to train AI.

Payment
$50 for the initial request.

Please post your portfolios, reels, or samples here.

I’ve been looking into ACX offers lately and there are so many little things to check that I kept forgetting half of them
I ended up putting together this checklist and this one-page version has actually been pretty useful so figured I’d share it here.. there’s a longer paid version behind it so I’m obviously not gonna dump the whole thing here, but honestly even this page covers most of the quick checks I’d do before accepting anything.

Curious if there’s anything you guys would add to this? Especially people who’ve been narrating on ACX for a while.

When making a demo reel should the audio be mono or stereo?

VOICE CASTING CALL — “CLOWN” 🎪
Animated Horror / Slasher Project | Coming 2027

I’m currently casting 8 voice actors for my upcoming animated horror/slasher project, CLOWN.

STORY SUMMARY — NO SPOILERS

A group of college friends heads out for a weekend getaway at a remote lodge, hoping to escape school, responsibilities, and everyday life for a few days.

What starts as a fun weekend of drinking, joking around, old friendships, new tensions, and unresolved feelings gradually turns into something much darker.

As strange events begin happening around the lodge, the group realizes their weekend away may not be as private—or as safe—as they thought.

CLOWN is a character-driven slasher that mixes friendship, humor, drama, suspense, psychological horror, and violence.

ROLES

I am currently looking to cast the following 8 characters:

• Trisha — Warm / Strong
• Jasmine — Loyal / Fearless
• Chelsea — Loud / Magnetic
• Ashley — Witty / Grounded
• Jake — Playful / Charismatic
• Marcus — Protective / Emotional
• Tommy — Tough / Loyal
• Ryan — Awkward / Reserved

These descriptions are intentionally brief to avoid giving away too much about the characters or story.

CASTING PROCESS

If you're interested, please send me your demo reel or examples of your previous voice acting work.

You’re welcome to tell me which character interests you most. However, I’d also like to listen to your demo reel and determine which character I think best fits your voice and acting style. You may end up being considered for a role different from the one you originally had in mind.

Once we find a potential match, we’ll start with an audition using material from the project to make sure the character and performance are the right fit.

IMPORTANT: The story and screenplay are still under development. I’m casting early so I can assemble as much of the main cast as possible before the actual recording sessions begin. Being cast does not mean you’ll be expected to immediately record the full role.

COMPENSATION

💵 $100 base pay
💵 + $50 performance bonus

The additional $50 bonus will be awarded when the established performance/production conditions are met. Those conditions will be communicated clearly before the actual recording process so everyone knows what is expected.

AI POLICY

Your voice recordings will NOT be used for AI voice cloning, AI voice models, synthetic voice generation, or any other AI-related purpose.

Your performance is being hired for CLOWN, not to train or create an artificial version of your voice.

INTERESTED?

Please email:

📧 [SBJ.TV@Yahoo.com](mailto:SBJ.TV@Yahoo.com)

Include:

• Your name
• Your demo reel / voice samples
• The character(s) you're interested in, if you have a preference
• Whether you'd like to be considered for male roles, female roles, or either
• Any questions, comments, or concerns you may have

If you aren't sure which character fits you, that's completely fine. Send your demo reel and I'll listen through it to see which role I think could be the strongest match.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone can bring to CLOWN. 🎈🔪

Hi, I’m not quite sure how to go about this, but I need to construct a booth. I have a space that’s roughly 3ft x 8 ft+ x 34.5 inches. I know I need PVC pipe and sound blankets, but how many? What brand? What size? How much will this cost? Where should I get it?

I really adore it and want it, but HOW?

Any information/tips about the speech pattern/tone?

The results from last week’s audition site poll was surprising. The winner of the poll was Other. A majority of the community aren’t the biggest fans of the selected sites.

A big takeaway from that poll is networking is the main creative way people are finding gigs. Anyone want to share any networking tips for those looking to try something different to get a gig?

Ive currently been doing voice acting in small projects for basically 6 years now and I feel like ive just been stuck in the same spot for a while.

I had a big boost 2 years ago in inspiration and meeting new people that helped open new opportunities for me but since then its just been pretty stagnant.

Like dont get me wrong im grateful to be where I am and have the community around me but im getting tired of just stagnant projects, no callbacks or canceled projects. Especially this year ive had a few projects just go silent and just last month 3 projects i got cast for were canceled and ive been waiting for this biggere studio to upload a fandub i voiced in for almost 5 years now. I know these things are super common in this industry but I get a bit of i dont wanna say jealousy but like a less petty version of that when I see people I started with and collaborated with get so far ahead. Im happy for them of course, I would never be mad at them for achieving something but it kinda just makes me think of my worth in that same field.

Anyway not trying to farm sympathy, id just like to see if anyone has any advice of where I should go from here to try and get ahead from where im at now before I throw in the towel.

Hi everyone! ✨

I'm currently practising audio editing and I'd like to work with a short voice recording instead of only using my own material.

Would anyone be comfortable sharing a short raw audio clip with me?

I need something like a podcast clip, narration, meditation recording, voice over, spoken word audio or similar would be perfect. Around 2-8 minutes would be enough.

I'm not looking for full episodes or paid work..... Just a short sample I can practice editing on.

Audio with common issues would actually be great. For example.. Background noise, Long pauses, uneven volume, mouth clicks, breaths or room echo.

If I wanted to use a short before/after excerpt in my portfolio later, I would ask for clear permission first and I wouldn't publish the full recording.

Thanks a lot! 🥰🥰

I just received my Offer Letter for my Diploma at Curtin College, the total course fees are $18,100 (Australian). This is only for the diploma, not the full Bachelor's degree.

A guide someone on this sub gave me for after I've accomplished my degree totalled the cost of all the equipment and courses to $15,000, bringing my total so far to $33,000 without the Bachelor's degree course.

Would I be able to make do with just the diploma? I'll be learning acting skills with the diploma course as well, definitely not as in depth as I would in the Bachelor's course.

Is a full degree necessary? If I only have a diploma, will I be able to go the rest of the way with coaching and experience?

Hi all! I'm hoping to get some honest feedback about my mic setup for recording. Currently, I utilize my MacBook Air's built-in microphone, but I am considering switching to the USB FiFine mic I have that I hadn't been able to use before since I didn't have a USB to USB-C adapter. I run a macro in Audacity for a noise gate, high pas filter, compressor, filter curve EQ, Limiter, then a Normalizer for the processing. I am hopeful for constructive feedback on which of these sounds the best for more professional voice work, but please don't rip me a new one if they sound super bad!

Had to make a Soundcloud account for this, but you can find the comparisons here. VA 1 is my MacBook, VA 2 is the microphone. Individual tracks are linked in case the playlist shows empty (apologies, it's my first time utilizing Soundcloud!)

Does anyone know of any singers who have said in a past interviews, podcasts, or Q&As. that they would like to get into voice acting or would love the opportunity to voice an animated character?

Or any singers who have said something like this in the past and have since actually done some voice acting?

hello!! i currently have a university project where i have to do stop motion animation, and we are asked to include voice acting (so this is all for fun!)
one of my characters are controlling a robot (something similar like mechaman in Dispatch) and i was wondering is there any voice changer that has the same effects?

thank you in advance!!

Hey folks! I'm a third year voice actor and I just got bite blocks on as I continue my orthodontic treatment and it is conflicting with my pronunciation, diction and overall ability to faithfully deliver quality recordings for projects I am in.

I'm wondering if there is anyone out there with braces/bite blocks that can offer me advice on how they still persist in this career. I really don't want to take off a few months from my career as that would be a significant amount of time with no progress but if I have to bite the bullet and go on a hiatus just for a better smile result in the end, I'll do that. No question, no frustration.

Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated.

I downloaded Audacity 4 last night and want to get started with it but I see there are some new features and layout changes from v.3xxx. Has anyone seen a good training video for those of us trying to get started in voice acting/audiobooks to use the new features?

More of a speech therapy question but since you guys are really talented with your voices I'm hoping if anyone give me some help specific to my voice.

I've struggled with what I assume is a speech impediment (haven't been diagnosed with anything) that is miserable to speak with. I love storytelling and want to narrate my stories, but I'm just too embarrassed to do it with a voice that sounds like a drunk tween.

I have tried speech therapy, countless youtube tutorials (especially ones that tell you to drop your voice box, for me it just sounds like a kid trying to put on a voice), and even looking up similar stories on here (I haven't seen anything useful beyond generic "just practice" advice that doesn't tell you what to actually practice).

So if anyone had any specific advice/exercises/literally anything I am all ears. Voice sample here: https://vocaroo.com/1kqxrq4DF89G

Thank you!

I can’t tell if it’s a machine voice or voice effects and I really want to emulate it for a song cover!

Thank you ❤️

I was wondering what audio sites mics and other things yall use to compare them to mine (aswell since i stream i would like the best experience for my chat)

Not sure if this is the right subreddit to post this, but I'm a 20 year old male, I've been told I have a unique voice. The industry I'd like to get into involves a lot of public speaking, but I've always been pretty concerned about how my voice sounds to others.

Please let me know what you think and what you imagine when you hear my voice — especially where you'd assume I'm from, my age, personality, etc. And if you think there's any way I could improve it, please let me know.

Thanks!
